Review Category : Millennial Angst

America stands in the midst of an epidemic, a plague equally horrific in both its crippling cognitive damage and rate of transmission. This weaponized virus, known as Trumpkinism, lingers wherever willful ignorance flourishes, ravaging the brains of otherwise ordinary individuals until they are rendered completely detached from reality. While symptoms vary in severity according to the illness’s progression, all victims ...

Behind the rise of every tyrant, you’ll find legions of sycophants and Machiavellian opportunists. Rabid hyenas jumping from scapegoat to scapegoat, engorging themselves by feasting on the dignity of others. However, perhaps even more reprehensible, you have those who realize the threat and choose to do nothing. For some, this spawns from apathy, a sense that their lives will remain ...

Scratch the surface of any gilded government, and you’re bound to find the promise of collective rule, with elections providing a treasure trove of fool’s gold. Cue the lights, camera, and action — populate a stage with plastic people, then anxiously bet on which one melts first. In this environment, a man like Donald Trump is bound to excel. One-half ...

Whether you’re an aspiring tyrant or simply a greedy douche, you’ll find this to be a land of ample opportunity. Still, in order to fully enjoy the fruits of exerting your will over the peasantry, it’s important for any self-respecting oligarch to understand the mechanisms behind ...
